When the weather is appropriate to safely climb on the roof. If that means spring, then so be it. — Leslie Costic 

January 6th. — Carol Drew Brierley

I would like to see them come down by the 6th but it takes almost the whole month of January to get undecorated around here. — Donna Nathlar Barone
